Hi,
I am, new to the group but I have noticed a change in colorsync with
one =
of my clients. They run a Xerox 7700 and when installed it does not
show =
up in the colorsync utility as a printer (or anything), hence a can't =
assign a profile to it.
When printing from applications that do not generate their own
PostScript (web browsers, email programs, etc.), the OS uses either a
document "assigned" profile, or an assumed profile as source, and
converts it into a PostScript CSA. That is including in the PostScript
stream sent to the printer. In theory the printer will use that as the
source profile, and the destination profile is the printer's build in
CRD. There is currently no way to specify a custom destination profile
to be used as a CRD.
For applications that produce their own PostScript (the Adobe apps,
CorelDRAW, Freehand) bypass this, and do not get a CSA included in the
print stream (unless you ask an Adobe app specifically to send one).
Therefore you must use application level color management when printing
from these applications.
